Once Darth Vader reaches the stage, complete with a swishy cape and helmet as well as his famous deep, menacing breath, the startled dog takes off, leaping from the couch and running away. After being published by Rex Chapman on Twitter this week, the footage quickly gained many retweets and likes. In response to Rex Chapman’s tweet about the clip this week, Mark – who played Luke Skywalker in the film – spotted the video and responded with his trademark humor. ‘Smart dog,’ he tweeted, quoting the cute pup. When I first encountered him, I wished I’d thought to hide behind the couch.’
As a result of his strong political beliefs, he has amassed a following on Twitter. Last month the actor tweeted that he would sell “Trump Cards” to fans as part of a campaign to criticize Donald Trump and poke fun at him.
